Make the most of being offline from work on Monday SG!  

Your day with the DGCs sounded lovely - especially the baking!  Hope you manage to get your walk in today - weather permitting. It's been torrential down here but rain has finally stopped and there's some sun peeking through the clouds. 🌥

I am hoping I get on the work IT tomorrow at some point . 

Had the DGC stay over last night , we watched a Halloween film and they had some sweet treats. I didn't sleep a wink as DGD was all over the bed and at one point hit me in the face when she moved 😂. They are good kids though and slept for 11 hours so no complaints . I am a little worried about my DD who is now about 30 weeks pregnant and work. I hope she doesn't have to keep going to visit houses as I definitely wouldn't want her having Covid whilst pregnant. My niece is still unwell but progressing , I think she will be off at least another two weeks minimum . 

The lockdown isn't anything really different to our area apart from the fact that the non essential shops are shut. I am so glad I made great progress with my Christmas shopping , only a couple of bits to get. 

I am grateful to still be receiving my full salary and be in a job, I hate to think what another month of lockdown is going to do for the economy. 

My parents who I haven't seen for more than 6 weeks apart from to hand the shopping over had me going for wallpaper this week. They are redecorating the lounge and dining room during this next month. I have to admire their tenacity at their age. They don't complain they just carry on regardless .

Your parents are awesome. 

Yes, a bit of a worry about your daughter.

Morning , well as predicted my IT still isn't working , they may have to rebuild me 😂. I am not allowed into work to see if I can log on there so I predict a tv day again. 

I got a late call from a neighbour telling me I had left my car lights on which was really good of her so I was walking about in my pjs outside switching them off . Neighbour watched from the window to make sure I was ok. 

I am wondering whether my colleague is going to return to work today as well, we will see.

Agree that's a nice neighbour and wow to your parents decorating. 
Hope your DD is ok too. Surely she should be doing less out and about and kept as safe as possible  x

I bought my neighbour a small bunch of flowers for the trouble she went to. 

Good news on the IT front I was back on by this afternoon , but I had to add lots in to my profile to get things right again. The rain has been relentless this afternoon , I am glad I got out for a walk whilst it was dry.
Training again for the new computer system , hopefully it will be easy to understand .

Good luck with the IT....don’t work too hard this afternoon once you’re up and running again. 

It’s definitely a worry about your dd. When does she finish.
Your parents are amazing doing their own decorating. It’ll give them a focus during this mad time.
it sounds as if you had a lovely time with the gks.....what did you bake?

No IT woes today, I have a 3 hour training course this morning on our new IT system so may fall asleep during it. 

My DGD is 4 today so was very excited , she has a princess bike. She said my singing was not good when I sang happy birthday to her. 

Happy Tuesday.
